ARSENAL will lift the Premier League title in May according to a supercomputer.
The artificial intelligence has Arsenal in first, followed closely by Liverpool in second and last season’s champions Manchester City slumping to third.

Aston Villa round out the top four, despite this weekend’s loss to Champions League rivals Manchester United.
The data was crunched by BettingExpert’s algorithm named BETSiE, which simulates the Premier League season 100,0000 times.
The data also takes into account results from last season, pre-season results, the current season and xG throughout the year.
BETSiE was clearly impressed by Arsenal’s 6-0 rout of West Ham on the weekend, tipping the Gunners to beat Liverpool to the title by a point and giving them a 39.3 per cent chance of their first title since 2003.
Liverpool meanwhile are given a 35.8 per cent probability and Manchester City just 24.8 per cent.
Their closest challengers, Aston Villa and Tottenham are the only other teams to record more than a zero per cent chance of probability and are both given 0.1 per cent.
Ange Postecoglou was asked about that 0.1 per cent chance ahead of Spurs’ clash with Brighton and was defiant as ever when it came to talking about Spurs’ prospects.
The Ausssie said: “What did it say, 0.1 per cent? So we got a chance then. Let’s go for it. No problems, no issues with that, we’ve got a chance!”

If BETSiE is to prove correct, then Spurs will be hoping that fifth place is enough for Champions League this season – although that is largely dependent on how well Manchester City and rivals Arsenal do in Europe’s elite competition.
Somewhat surprisingly, the AI has Newcastle claiming the last Europa League place and coming sixth, despite their inconsistencies this season.
That leaves Manchester United likely playing in the Europa Conference League having come seventh – a result that would surely see Erik ten Hag facing the sack.
The algorithm has Sheffield United coming rock bottom, despite their recent excellent result against Luton where they won 3-1.
Vincent Kompany will be leading Burnley back to The Championship according to the computer, where he did so well last year to get promoted.
Luton will be the closest to surviving the drop but even then will be a whole five points off their nearest rivals in Nottingham Forest.
